Mississippi police officers rescue driver after car plunges into river

D'IBERVILLE, Miss. -- A 19-year-old Mississippi Gulf Coast woman was
driving to work Wednesday when her brakes locked and her car plunged into a
river.

Luckily, two D'Iberville police officers rescued Carrie McGill from the
chilly waters of the Tchoutacabouffa (CHEW-tah-kah-buff).

McGill tells The Sun Herald that she climbed out one of the car windows.

Officer Michael Knapp happened to be checking river levels and saw the
accident. He tells WLOX-TV he grabbed a life jacket and tossed it to McGill. She
wrapped her arms around it just before the car pulled her under.

Officer Chris Roberts arrived as McGill resurfaced, and he swam out to pull
her from the water. She says she had only cuts and bruises and was grateful to
the officers.
